What Makes a Carnival Cruise Line Holiday Exceptional?

It’s no surprise that Carnival Cruise Line has become one of the industry’s leading providers of family cruises.  There’s no better on-board experience for energetic youngsters, with iconic waterparks that let them fly down waterslides with the glistening Caribbean ocean as the backdrop. 

What’s special about Carnival Cruise Line cruises is that they are great for adults, too. When the day is done, there’s nowhere better to rest and chat than the RedFrog Brewery or the Blue Iguana tequila bar, gazing out across Mediterranean waters. Perfect for the whole family, Carnival’s eateries, such as Rudi’s Seagrill, are a delight, bringing New England coastal charm from America all the way to Australasia

Why Choose Carnival Cruise Line Cruises?

Carnival Cruise Line knows that everyone deserves to have fun, and that’s why its ships and itineraries are equipped with something for kids and adults alike. Here are some of the highlights you can expect on a Carnival Cruise Line holiday:

Waterworks

Craving a day of splashing around without having to leave the ship? Head down to Carnival’s own WaterWorks™ for pure, adrenaline-filled fun for all.

Across the Carnival Cruise Line fleet, enjoy everything from classic cocktails to world-class wines in the Piano Bar, the go-to music venue found on all ships.

Gyms & Spas

Whether you’re looking to get rid of some knots or get your heart thumping, the Carnival fleet has the perfect facilities for guests to wind down or work out. The Thermal Suite offers rejuvenating facials, back massages, manicures, and even hair styling, helping guests look and feel good. Throughout each ship, there are also fitness classes, yoga sessions, and gym facilities – all designed to keep you fit and happy.
